UNDERWORLD 76 Posted December 30, 2012 I see a lot of (frankly justified) moaning about hackers here and it got me thinking to my encounters in the past, and one really shone for me seeing as the guy was...well really nice!I'd only been playing the game a few days with a mate and we came to that petrol station/industrial area west of Elektro. We were getting overwelmed by zombies and ran into the petrol station building to take cover...about to run out of ammo we thought we were done for. Suddenly, a guy with a Ghillie suit and LMG just runs in and stares at us, we S*** outselves but then he yells "GET DOWN" and starts taking out the zombies coming in. He leads us out the back to safety and says there might be some ammo in a warehouse so we part ways.We then a few minutes later could hear a thunderous rattling of gunfire, and saw on the hill NW of elektro firing with tracer rounds into the city. He'd also lit the whole place up with flares (was night) and god knows how many zombies running up the hill getting mowed down. We were obviously gobsmacked and tried to go into the city quietly to loot. We got in a high value resident and heard walking around...we issued a friendly warning since we were noobs but to our suprise it was our friend again! He said hi and left. we were about to leave when he said he'd left a suprise for us on the ground floor... silenced M4s and silenced pistols. We were amazed, we had a little shoot with our new toys and went to the supermarket to get better bags...to which he left another gift...NVGs and a quad bike. We loved it and thanked him a lot (not realising he was a hacker seeing as we'd only just started playing).We proceeded to make it a couple hunred metres before crashing the quad and killing us both =pQuestion is, obviously hacking is a real pain in the arse but can 'Robin Hood' type figures be justified? Probably not, but was interested if anyone else had any experiances similar and their views on this situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 7988 Posted December 30, 2012 No !It breaks the spirit of the game.This subject is not even open to discussion, I don't see why you need to ask the question.Let us see what happens (again). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Nasty 1023 Posted December 30, 2012 No. A hacker is a hacker is a hacker regardless of intentions.They must be destroyed.Just because he was friendly for that one session with you does not mean that he wont use hacks to kill someone else.Im with Boneboys. This should not even be a discussion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossums 2190 Posted December 30, 2012 You deserved to die.What happened instead? You f ucked over a lot of legitimate players.Why should you be handed high-end weapons and gear when there are players that would have been spending days looking for it themselves?It is morons like you that encourage players to continue hacking because they are 'cool' and 'friendly' 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratsmon 131 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Meh, I got no opinion of this, it would just attract haters if I did put out my opinion <.< Edited December 30, 2012 by Ratsmon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ponystein 22 Posted December 30, 2012 hacker is a hacker whos intentions are to put themself before everyone else and ruin the gaming experience for there own self gain . whether they helped you out or not that would mean they worked against everyone else because only the ones who were helped benefitted thats not fair .you see a hacker , you report them . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
escoffiersghost 11 Posted December 30, 2012 cheating is cheating is cheating is cheating.what fun is having some script punk provide you with gear when the point and real joy of the game is going out and finding that loot yourself?but, i suppose if you like not having a challenge whatever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted December 30, 2012 Hackers are still hackers, and they're breaking rules. They need to be banned.Also, one time when I was new and didn't know that taking hacked gear was bad, 12 hackers made me lie down, tell them how many people I'd killed. They then left me a hack box. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoSurvive 8 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I never met a "friendly hacker" i only found vehicles that were hacked but I never knew they were hacked (only afterwards checking the car spawn map). Once I found a medi-box on the street with multiple G36s and other awesome shit I did not take anything. If I used this weapon to kill a bandit/survivor it would be unfair, so the hacker would've made something bad not to me but to my victim Edited December 30, 2012 by NoSurvive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
